Bath re-enamelling in Stalbridge without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Stalbridge

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

FAQs for Stalbridge

Do you cover Stalbridge?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stalbridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are there extra charges for Stalbridge?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When to call us in Stalbridge

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Landlord and trade work in Stalbridge

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
